Connected

For a moment there I could barely breathe never mind find words to say. I am overwhelmed and blessed by the outpour of love I have received by not only people I have known along this journey, but also people I never met. I am grateful, truly grateful.

So much of me wants to respond to every single sweet e-mail, and comment made. I wish I could comfort all the people reaching out to me that are grieving or struggling in their own search for God. For the past few days I have had to literally remind myself that I am only one person. I also had to focus on what my priorities are. I can easily get swept up in helping others, and I need to remind myself I still have my own journey to nurture and then I can nurture others.

I am not sure what is to come. I know this for sure; that show was meant not only to own my own truth, but to help others. It is completely humbling and wonderful to see that it has done both of those intentions.

While I sit figuring out what is God intended for me to do with this all now, I decided to create an e-mail address so there is a more private forum for those of you who need it. I wish I could guarantee my full attention to every person, but I just can’t. You do, however, have my word that I will try. My new e-mail address is: seekingupblog@yahoo.com

After reading so much the past few days, and being so “plugged in” I have realized that I need to make sure to “unplug” more often. I am not sure how often I will be able to read and respond, but I will. In the meantime, I hope this blog fills you up with some slivers of goodness, and that you “friend” Seeking Up on Facebook where I try to relay a daily positive focus to uplift life.

I also want to state publicly that I, like you, continue to be a seeker. I do not hold all the answers. I am no closer to God because I died and returned, I am just more confident in Him. I am walking the same journey as you, just in a different manner. I am not a saint. I am not always kind, without fault, or always positive. My face on tv doesn’t give me bragging rights, nor does a near-death experience make me better than anyone else.

What I do know is that my experience is unlike most people’s journeys. That I was blessed with an incredible experience in order to help others. I understand the curiosity, and the need for closure or a “how to” to God. I get it. I welcome it. I am a real person trying to do my best.

One of the major things that the BIO channel left out was the theme to my life that was asked of me at the tender age of 8. When I was being sent back and asked “What have you done for your fellow-man?”. I can now list a long detailed list that never ends. For that I am forever grateful. And for that… I will return as many e-mails as I possibly can.

***Stay tuned. Many of you inquired about what was left out of my story on tv! I will be featuring a blog post with more details soon!***
